How do you manage to get SUVs axed during the biggest shift in vehicle preferences, in favour of SUVs over cars, in the last 50 years?! They nailed it so well with the introduction of the Territory in 2004, the exact right product at exactly the right time - how have they failed so massively to arrive where they are now?! Should have kept making the Territory and invested in it.
I thought they were all downed at birth. Like all Ford SUVs other than Everest locally. [emoji38]

The territory had 7 seats and the genius team that replaced it with a 5 seat Endura just didn't read the market right. Ford has a history of pricing themselves out of the mid market SUVs post territory.
